About

Provided by Rahman Ravelli Solicitors

Rahman Ravelli's innovative ways of challenging the authorities and identifying weaknesses in allegations have seen it officially recognised as being among the very best at defending people's assets. Its expertise in global asset recovery and tracing is in increasing demand from international private clients and corporates around the world.

Each member of the firm's top-ranked asset forfeiture team is vastly experienced in this field, can boast huge amounts of expertise and possesses a desire and commitment to achieve the very best result for the companies and international clients they represent.

This is why Rahman Ravelli has come to be viewed as the market leader in this area of law. Its long and impressive record of success and its unique reputation for taking cases to the highest possible courts, including the European Court of Human Rights, have made it the stand-out firm in this field.

The almost draconian provisions of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 can leave people feeling shocked when they are the subject of forfeiture proceedings. Rahman Ravelli's skill in developing the strongest defence strategy at the earliest opportunity gives clients the best possible chance of keeping what is theirs.
